How the math works

Standard 0.25 acre boundary survey: $700 base. Larger lot adds per-acre after 0.5 acres. Rush adds 25%.

Shop 3 surveyors; prices vary 20-30%. For standard residential, mortgage location survey usually suffices — don't over-order.

How to Use

  1. Select survey type and enter lot size.
  2. See expected cost range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Survey types?

Mortgage location (simplest, $150-$400). Boundary survey ($500-$1,500). ALTA/NSPS (commercial, $1,500-$5,000). Topographical (grading/engineering, $700-$2,500). Each serves different purposes.

When is survey required?

Often required by lender (especially new construction, rural, or disputed boundaries). Almost always waived on tract-home subdivisions. Commercial: nearly always required.

Can I use a prior survey?

Sometimes — if dated within 1-2 years and no changes to property. Many lenders and title companies accept. Saves $300-$1,500.
